hi,

usually pre and post surgery one needs to learn some simple abdominal strengthening exercises. which can keep the mesh in place. requirement of doing exercise came into existence for early and long term achievement of the surgery from couple of years. why don't you just try looking for a physcial therapsit and undergo some small simple abdominal strengthening exercises. once the abdominal muscles become strong the issues of the swelling in the groin should come down. as abdomen is divided into 9 different quadrants slow and progressive exercises will surely be of the help and you may avoid the reoccruance of the swelling and may even avoid the surgery to undergo again.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

thank you
